My Prediction
New York Yankees by 2What's cookin', good lookin'? We've got a baseball bonanza for you today between the Chicago Cubs and the New York Yankees. And let me assure you, waiting in anticipation for this matchup feels like waiting for your grandma to find her reading glasses. Talk about suspense, right?
Now, listen up, buttercups. We've got Chris Flexen as the starter for the Cubs with an impressive 0.86 ERA this season. If you ask me, his arm's so good he could probably pitch a tent in the Sahara with a whirlwind. On the flip side, we've got Carlos Rodon starting for the Yankees. His 3.34 ERA doesn't exactly leave me quaking in my boots, but hey, I've seen a chihuahua scare a bull mastiff off before.
As for the heavy hitters, the Cubs are boasting the swatting skills of Mike Busch, Carson Kelly, and let's not forget Seiya Suzuki. They have combined for an impressive 49 RBIs and 19 home runs. Meanwhile, the Yankees are putting forward Jasson Dominguez, Cody Bellinger, Aaron Judge, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. with a slick combination of 64 RBIs and 25 home runs. Writing these stats makes me sweat like a cheese in a hot car.
Back in the day—if you consider last year back in the day—the Cubs did outdo the Yankees in a close one. Their recent record has them winning three out of their last five games. The Yankees, however, have been hitting all the right notes recently, checking in their last five games in the win column.
All in all, it's going to be a close one in the Yankee Stadium, known to support neither batters nor pitchers, really, like a mother who refuses to pick her favorite child. But I'd lean towards the Yankees. Why, you ask? Well, I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you. Just kidding but let's not dismiss the home advantage, the more powerful lineup and recent momentum.
